INTRODUCTION TO "LEWIS AND CLARK: FAMOUS RESEARCHERS"

 

Summary
While Lewis and Clark are widely celebrated as extraordinary explorers and leaders of men, their considerable talents as scientific researchers are less well known. The captains' research skills are used as a prelude to discussions and activities about finding information today. Contrasts are made between modern research tools and those available two hundred years ago.

A Word For Teachers About Using This Cirriculum Guide
Lesson plans and activities in this curriculum guide have been planned to accommodate a wide range of student interests and capabilities rather than imposing a rigid age/grade structure upon the materials. We encourage teachers to adapt the materials according to the needs, interests, and capabilities of their classes. Even the diagram below should be taken as an approximation. After all, no one knows your students better than you do.
